I'd have to agree with rj, although technically the tube from the
airport is only 30-40 mins, you'd be taking a risk getting into the town
centre. If i was heading to the airport from town I'd want a good couple
of hours leeway, in case of delays, which are not unlikely.

My shop is only a few miles, one bus ride from the airport and I can't
honestly recommend even giving us a visit so, like the man said, best
stay put.

have a good trip,
